I have had my first laser tattoo removal session. The next day, the blister was insanely impressive in size.

Is this normal? Will this ever stop filling up like this?

You would be a great candidate for the Alex Trivantage laser. This laser is the only one on the market that can target colors. The multiple wave lengths can target all the colors and pigment in the tattoo with 4-6 sessions. You should contact a board certified dermatologist as soon as possible.
